Louis Peyko, Community Advocate, Gives a Tour of Grow Your Non-Profit Podcast Lounge

Grow Your Non-Profit Podcast Lounge 

Podcasts are very popular and a new way to grow your business no matter the size.  Having access to a beautiful studio to record your podcast is a smart way to start your own podcast without having to invest in expensive equipment. Yes, we know that you can record your own podcast at home, but the difference with a podcast studio is that you can bring guests for interviews. Having a podcast is a clever strategy to gain access to people who otherwise may not take your call. 


For nonprofits, this could be a great way to interview planned giving donors, discuss upcoming events or even one of your programs. What's great is that you can post your podcast on your website which is really impressive to donors as well as other podcast platforms. This simple strategy will help you reach a larger audience and grow your donor base.


For profit businesses, having a podcast will give you a competitive edge over the competition and open the door to closing the deal with a client you've been chasing for years.
